- “I set my mind on this decision a long time ago ever since I was a little kid wanting to play football,” McCloud said. “I was always hoping to be at Miami as long as I can remember. Even though I doubt I’m going to change directions, it is just a verbal commitment. I could decommit if I choose to but I don’t see that happening.”
- “From a football standpoint, they’re coming up again,” McCloud said. “They’ve made progress already and I think they will make even more in the next few years. I want to be a part of that plus it’s a very good school to get a degree from. It’s great to be a Hurricane and I’m looking forward to it.”
- “It sounded like there was a party going on in the background and every coach around was invited,” McCloud said. “It was a lot of fun telling them personally that I decided to commit. They offered about a week ago so everything moved along pretty fast.”
- On Langham being at Miami; “That was a part of it, just another thing to add on the list of reasons working for Miami,” McCloud said. “He’s somebody I’m familiar with and that did influence my decision. It’s nice to know I have another person already there that I can trust.”
